Here's something I don't like. As soon as a woman goes out with another woman, she is considered a lesbian, even if she went out with a man before.

Why is she not considered bi or pan? Obviously, she can identify as a lesbian, but why do we focus on the non-stright part of her sexual identity?

This is the same if the genders were swapped.

Freddie Mercury is famous for being gay, but he went out with a woman. So did he *actually* identify as gay, or did he consider himself bi and we've just put a label on him?

We Deserve Monuments by Jas Hammonds is a vivid, beautiful novel, put together perfectly, that combines YA coming-of-age story with simmering southern gothic mystery. Young pansexual Avery sticks out like a sore thumb as one of the only Black girls at the "good school" in Bardell, Georgia. She doesn't know why her family is even here—years after her mom fled the town for good, they're back to see her dying grandmother, but the two women do nothing but fight. But once she's adopted by Simone and Jade, and begins to sow small seeds of connection with Mama Letty, Avery starts to carve out something like a comfort with Bardell. Unfortunately, getting to know Bardell will mean getting to know its secrets.

Hammonds brings into rich, crystalline tension the way that small towns hold onto their secrets, with combinations of open rumor and rigid silences. Their characters are vivid and complex people who you can see as you read, and it enhances the heartbreaks, the tears, and the hugs that come in these pages. From the clumsy web of being queer and Black to the violence of generational trauma and how it's passed down, this book is layer upon layer of story, and yet it's easy to read—in fact, it's near-impossible to put down, and I gulped it down like a frosty iced tea on a hot humid summer day, all in one long, savoring chug. It's a powerful book about both family and friendship, about facing a difficult past with eyes wide open and also about finding new pocket-spaces where you feel accepted and at home.

It gets one of my dearest compliments to a book, because it's rare and usually speaks to the writer's talent: it made me want to write. It sparked that creative rush, and made me want to tell another story. To cap it all off, I loved the pansexual representation, and the book was part of my list of nonbinary/gender non-conforming authors to read this Pride Month.

This is one of the best romances that I’ve read this year! It had a slow-burn, true enemies-to-lovers plot with cosplay rivals. The fact that both Edward and Izzy were petty assholes to each with snarky banter and hate sex thrown in?! I was living for them! I honestly loved Edward and Izzy and would read an entire series just about them and their cosplay adventures. The entire time I was reading this book I couldn’t help but be reminded of another set of characters. It took a while to figure out who exactly they reminded me of and when I did, it was so obvious. They gave me Legolas/Gimli vibes! And the second I had this realization I could not stop smiling, mostly because I could just imagine them in LOTR cosplay.

I loved that Edward and Izzy’s relationship was so slow to change. I was living for the petty comments and then for the way those comments changed into something softer and more teasing. I loved the fact that once Edward explained his relationship with Izzy to his best friend, he had this complete realization of just how in love he was. And I can’t forget the cosplay aspect! That was just so unique and unexpected as a backdrop for this romance to take place.

This was just such a fun read and I can’t recommend it enough! If you love nerdy romances, this is the series for you. Charisma Check is getting a solid five stars.
